STEMCELL Technologies Reviews

Pros

Great HR recruiters open the door to bring in good talent and idea. They play a critical role in a company's growth and development. STEMCELL has such a great HR recruitement team, and I luckily met one of them -- Sarah Mansour. She is generous, thoughtful and has a great insight for matching talent into the right position. I applied several times for the RA position with STEMCELL. She remembered my expertise, always kept an eye out for a good match to my experiences. With her encouragement, I finally landed in the right position with a fantastic team! Thank you Sarah! 

Cons

Pros

A great company to be with if you're value-oriented. The CEO is a genuinely great person, and you can tell majority of people here care about their work and each other. Lots of experts in the company, and the team is very collaborative, which allows for growth and learning. One of the first companies to react very quickly to the pandemic and allow staff to work remotely. They took very aggressive measures early on to protect employees, which is much appreciated. Communication is frequent and there's a good level of transparency during this tough time. The changes have not been easy to navigate but a sense of community is clear in the team as everyone is supportive of each other. Employees are being trained with a very well-made training module & safety guidelines, making us feel safe enough coming back to the lab. While things change very rapidly here, the recent changes have been much more on the positive side.

Cons

As many mentioned, pay is on the lower side. Work volume can increase very quickly as with all high growth company. Managers should really walk the walk of "work-life balance" instead of just talking about it. Expectations can be really high which is both a good and bad thing. Also more visibility to the "why" of certain decisions, and make more of an effort in each team to recognize hard work, especially for junior staff. Everyone here wants to do a great job but sometimes hierarchy and bureaucratic processes can get in the way.
